Mississippi Lions Eye Bank

Serving Mississippi through Sight and Service.

Founded in 1977, the Mississippi Lions Eye Bank has a proud legacy of service and community involvement. The Lions remain active supporters of our mission today, continuing their long tradition of championing vision care in Mississippi.

Mississippi faces one of the highest rates of vision loss in the United States, underscoring the critical need for accessible and effective vision correction services throughout the state.

Since joining Advancing Sight Network in 2021, Mississippi Lions Eye Bank has continued its vital work in Mississippi: providing high-quality eye tissue for transplant and research, honoring the generosity of donor families, and supporting the surgeons and scientists working to restore sight. Rooted in local relationships and inspired by a broader mission, we are committed to bringing hope and healing to those affected by vision loss—in Mississippi and around the world.

We support donor families with compassion, ensuring their gifts are honored and make a difference in the lives of recipients. Through close collaboration with surgeons, researchers, and partners, we help restore vision and advance the future of eye care.
